The big 2 for my little 2

We did the slip n slide and bbq'd after church today for the twins birthday. We kept it low-key but had fun. Here is a million pics. You're welcome. 

Summertime fun!

We made a fun video of our pool time yesterday, and I posted it on YouTube. Enjoy!

The Pool

You know as soon as the pool temps are tolerable, we are back at it! Last summer we practically lived at the pool and the beach. This year we will really only have weekends to pool/beach it up. So expect us to be there. 

Eight Crazy Years

Yesterday was our anniversary, and we had made plans. Our anniversary plans never seem to work out how we envision them, but we always end up taking time just to recognize it. So I guess that's a win, right? 

So this time we ended up bringing all our kids with us to Charleston for the day. We did a children's museum instead of nice restaurants and window shopping. 

Our kids are a huge part of our marriage, so they might as well take part in the celebrations. :)

Here are pics:

Oops, I did it again!

Blogging has not been a top priority lately. What can I say? We have been busy. But not "doing grand things" busy, more like "daily grind" kind of busy. 

The kids are really enjoying day care these days, which simultaneously warms my heart, and makes it ache. You know what I mean. But, I am so glad that they enjoy it. We are trying to figure out what to do with N next year, but there are a lot of "what ifs" to answer still before anything becomes a real option. 

The babies are talking more and more. It's cute to see how different they do things, ie- James has been obsessed with saying who everything belongs to for about a month. He goes around picking things up and saying "daddy!" Or "mommy!" Will calls Tyler "poppa" and I am "momma" and I don't know where he picked up on those, but he never says mommy or daddy. It is especially interesting because James says those two words constantly. 

And also, here are a few pictures to complete the post. :)
